&OOM xii. (Cases ), 2, 3, A.) Penates, or household 
Gods, in bronze: many of them are in fine 
preservation, and of good sculpture, and are 
valuable on many accounts, particularly for the 
variety of attributes by which they are severally 
distinguished. In these cases are also contained 
some bronze vessels, remarkable either for their 
size or elegance. 
( Case 5 ) A raven, the size of life ; and five 
large candelabra of bronze. The raven was pre¬ 
sented, 17 / 7 , by Lord Seajorth. It is of the 
finest workmanship, and has probably belonged 
to a statue of Apollo. 
(Case 6 ) Specimens of ancient glass. The 
principle articles are four cinerary urns. One of 
them has the leaden covering, in whigh it was 
preserved ; and another contains the burnt bones, 
and the asbestos cloth, which prevented the ashes 
of the body from mixing with those of the funeral 
pile I titse articles are accompanied by a great 
number of lachrymatories, and various other 
vessels.
